Nakamura Yuri (real name Sung Woo-ri), a fourth-generation Zainichi Korean actress, has passed away following her battle with rectal cancer. She was 44 years old.

Her agency, Alpha Agency, announced the news via its official website recently: "Nakamura Yuri passed away on the 1st after battling rectal cancer. A private funeral was held by close family members, fellow actors under her agency, and staff."

It is reported that Nakamura Yuri was diagnosed with cancer 13 years ago but was later declared cured. However, the cancer recurred in January last year. Although surgery was successful, metastasis was confirmed afterward, and she continued treatment.

Nakamura Yuri was scheduled to play the lead role in the drama 'Dangerous,' set for broadcast in 2027, but withdrew from the project in August due to intestinal obstruction.

Meanwhile, Nakamura Yuri, a fourth-generation Zainichi Korean actress holding South Korean citizenship, appeared in films such as 'Like Father, Like Son' and 'Ringo: The Cursed Photo,' and dramas including 'Shall We Heat It Up for 24 Hours? Windstorm Convenience Store,' 'Boss,' 'Tokyo Dogs,' 'Moon Lovers,' 'Hope Zero New Hire,' 'Good Doctor,' 'We Are Crazy,' '119 Emergency Call,' and 'After the Breakup.'

In last year's released film 'Romantic Anonymous,' she shared scenes with Han Hyo-joo.
